The sun is shining (800 w/m2) on two cars, each with 4m2 surface area facing the sun. One is painted black, while the other is painted with bright aluminum paint. What is the difference in the rate of energy absorption between the two cars? 6. What does Kirchoff’s law state? 7. Why will you not get frost on a car parked between two houses, while a car on the street away from the house will be covered in frost, on a clear cool calm night? 8. Why will the car on the street under the same conditions not be covered in frost if there is a light breeze?
